Caterham Cars has introduced the \u2018S\u2019 Pack and the wider-bodied S5 chassis as options for the fastest road car it has ever produced, the 620R.<\/p>\n

\"news_caterham_1\"<\/a>The new Seven 620S is the mildly saner, more road-oriented sibling of the ballistic 620R and features comforts such as a full windscreen, hood and side-screens, as well as leather seats.<\/p>\n

For the first time, the Seven 620 can also now be specified with the wide-bodied S5 chassis as an option costing \u00a32500. This version is wider and longer than the standard S3 chassis, providing an experience better suited for more generously-proportioned customers, with other benefits including added interior and luggage space and increased range thanks to a larger fuel tank.<\/p>\n

The 620S, priced at \u00a344,995 inc VAT fully built, joins the 620R at the summit of the Seven range by harnessing the same 310bhp two-litre, supercharged Ford Duratec engine to deliver outrageous performance for those drivers who feel that the iconic Seven just isn\u2019t barnstorming enough.<\/p>\n

Delivering a new driving experience, the 620S has been tailored for road-use, with a five-speed manual gearbox instead of the 620R\u2019s more race-inspired sequential \u2018box. Like all Sevens, the 620S adheres to Caterham\u2019s philosophy of delivering a very special brand of unapologetically raucous fun.<\/p>\n

\"news_caterham_2\"<\/a>Meanwhile, Caterham\u2019s traditionally minimalistic approach to the engineering of the car is ever-present, with the carbonfibre interior panels and dash and lightweight flywheel of the 620R installed to save weight vital to the car\u2019s bonkers performance.<\/p>\n

The car features the creature comforts of the \u2018S\u2019 pack available throughout the Seven range such as a heater, full windscreen, hood and side screens and leather seats. However, while the \u2018S\u2019 pack features road springs and dampers, the uprated brake master cylinder and limited-slip differential are taken from the \u2018R\u2019 pack to ensure optimum performance.<\/p>\n

The styling continues with the 620R\u2019s 13in wheels replaced by 15in Orcus anthracite alloy wheels fitted with more road-suited Avon ZZS tyres. Customers looking to venture out in colder conditions can now experience the warming delights of heated seats in a Caterham Seven for the very first time. Heated carbon seats are now available as an option on all models in the range.<\/p>\n

The 620R comes with carbon seats as standard; an upgrade to heated carbon seats is available for \u00a3395. The 620S comes with leather seats as standard with an upgrade to carbon seats available for \u00a3600 or \u00a3995 for heated carbon seats.<\/p>\n

\"news_caterham_3\"<\/a>Caterham Cars CEO, Graham Macdonald, said: \u201cWhen we launched the 620R, we knew that we were unleashing a beast upon the world. It\u2019s never been one for the faint-hearted and should really come with its own health warning.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we are, of course, sensitive also to those customers who want the ridiculous performance stats without having to worry about donning race overalls to access them. The new options mean that customers who want the best of both worlds can have exactly that, whether their aim is to pound around the race tracks of the UK or take a Sunday drive, albeit a deliriously exciting one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Orders are now being taken for the Caterham Seven 620 with the \u2018S\u2019 pack and the S5 chassis options, with first deliveries expected later this year.<\/p>\n
